This book provides an accessible treatment of deep learning. Simon Prince curates only the ideas he considers most important with the aim of providing a high density of critical information. From machine learning basics to advanced models, each concept is presented in lay terms and then detailed precisely in mathematical form and illustrated visually. Suitable for anyone with a basic background in applied mathematics.
